12. Now Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been enemies with each other.
13. Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14. and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.
